Roger MARTIN 128 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Devils rider Glanz out in the cold after injury PLYMOUTH Devils boss Mike Bowden has admitted Dane Nicki Glanz is unlikely to return to the St Boniface Arena in the near future. Glanz, who disappeared from the Plymouth line-up earlier in the season after sustaining an injury, has not been back since. The Dane was supposed to be recuperating in his own country, but is now locked in a contract wrangle with the Devils. His decision to stay put in Denmark is apparently the result of Plymouth's decision to cut riders' wages so the club stay afloat. Chairman and promoter Mike Bowden has been increasingly concerned about falling crowd numbers caused, for the most part, by poor weather. Bowden said: "It is true to say that the club is in a contractual dispute with Nicki. "I don't know what he's doing, because I haven't spoken to him, but I'm not sure we'd have him back anyway." Glanz is highly unlikely to solve his dispute with the Devils before tonight's Premier League meeting away to Ipswich Witches (7.30). The Dane, unless the attitude of both parties thaws rapidly overnight, can also safely be ruled out of tomorrow's league meeting with Workington at the St Boniface Arena (7.30pm). Even if Glanz was available, he would not solve Bowden's problem of how he is going to replace injured reserve Robert Ksiezak. Ksiezak looks as though he is going to be sidelined for a considerable amount of time after apparently breaking an ankle while guest-riding for Berwick. Scans are still being carried out on the injury, although doctors have told Ksiezak they are pretty certain the heavily-bruised ankle is broken. Ksiezak, however, has the lowest average – the number of points a rider is expected to win during a meeting – of any of the Plymouth team. Regulations insist Bowden has to bring a guest rider with the same average into the team – and there aren't any available. The Devils' chairman said: "My main problem is there are no riders available to bring into the team. "I've gone through a list of Premier League riders, but there's nobody available with an average as low as Robert. "The difficulty is everybody is riding tonight and of course we're going to have the same problem tomorrow night. "I'm now going through a list of National League riders, but nothing is really jumping out at me." Bowden may be forced to use the rider replacement facility, where Ksiezak's team-mates James Holder and Ben Reade would ride extra races to fill in for him. Plymouth have delayed naming their team for tonight's meeting. Read this report in the local Plymouth paper today, and i give credit to Nicki Glanz for sticking it to Bowden, i don't blame the lad for not coming back, there is only one person who isn't taking a pay cut out of this, and we all know who, he's taking it all, and we all know why the support is dropping, nothing to do with the weather.

CardinalSin 346 Posted August 9, 2012 Crumbs didn't realise things were this difficult for Plymouth. Worrying times indeed as it seems a few others are struggling too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plymouth have delayed naming their team for tonight's meeting. The guy is re-writing the rulebook. So he thinks he can have a guest, but there are none so he's going to have to use a NL rider but if there are no NL riders two other riders can replace him? No. He HAS to use a NL rider for a missing number 7, he has no other choice. No wonder the club is up rubbish creek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted August 9, 2012 Should the BSPA not be looking in to this? If things are so bad at Plymouth then I would have thought some action was required by the Ruling Body? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
